Upcoming Free Webinar - Joorney & Roseview: A Designated Organization's Perspective on the Impact of the Start-Up Visa Changes
Join us on October 19th at 11 am ET for our upcoming webinar, “Joorney & Roseview: A Designated Organization’s Perspective on the Impact of the Start-Up Visa Changes”. In this session, we will partner up with Roseview, a designated organization under the SUV program, and explore the announced updates of the SUV program changes and what they mean for aspiring entrepreneurs and designated organizations.
During the webinar, our host, Marianella Manzur, together with guest Michael Dearden, founding partner of Roseview Global Incubator, will dive into the SUV program. Together, they’ll discuss the government’s latest changes to the SUV program and their impact on designated organizations and incubators, and how Roseview adapts to those new changes and requirements.
Here’s a sneak peek of the questions that we’ll answer during the webinar:
- What is the purpose of a designated organization, and how does one get support from a designated organization?
- Since the letter of support is just the starting point, what steps follow after getting a letter of support?
- How will the upcoming changes to the Start-up Visa program impact the criteria for designated organizations like Roseview to support start-up entrepreneurs?
- How will the changes to the SUV program benefit or challenge the start-up ecosystem within Canada, particularly in terms of fostering innovation and job creation?
- And more!
During the webinar, you’ll also learn about Roseview’s unique programs, BASE and RISE, and get insights into the application process, timeframes, and costs.
Like all our webinars, you can participate in a Q&A session at the end, where our experts will answer all your questions.
And that’s not all! You’ll also receive 1 CPD credit for attending the webinar. This webinar is the perfect opportunity to learn how designated organizations like Roseview adapt to the changing requirements for the SUV program.
We look forward to seeing you on October 19th!
